Yards but no win for Cowboys QB Kitna

Jon Kitna on Thursday threw for more than 300 yards for the third time in five starts since replacing the injured Tony Romo as the Cowboys’ quarterback. Keeping with a league-wide trend, the Cowboys have a losing record (1-2) in those games.
In the NFL overall, teams are 33-35 for games in which a quarterback throws for 300-plus yards. New Orleans does have a winning record (3-2) when Drew Brees throws for 300-plus yards. He had 353 yards in the win against the Cowbos.
The passing statistics were meaningless to Kitna. The loss held far more significance to him.
“The NFL is an emotional game,” Kitna said. “This game, if you let it, will rip your heart out. You get disappointed. You feel like you played well enough to win. You just didn’t.”
